Japan
Seafood has always been a significant part of the Japanese diet and today accounts for about 40 % of the protein consumed by Japanese people. Domestic marine fisheries are generally divided into coastal fisheries, offshore fisheries, and distant-water fisheries (Table 9). From 1972 to 1988, Japan ha...

Seafood has always been a significant part of the Japanese diet and today accounts for about 40 % of the protein consumed by Japanese people. Domestic marine fisheries are generally divided into coastal fisheries, offshore fisheries, and distant-water fisheries (Table 9). From 1972 to 1988, Japan had the world’s largest fisheries. Catches increased through to 1984 with the maximum production of 12,820,000 t. The total catch of all marine species declined from the maximum in 1984 to 3,734,209 t in 2000 (Fig. 17). This was a change from 16.0 % of the world’s catch in 1984, to 5.1 % in 2000. In recent years, the fishery in China reportedly exceeds Japanese production. At present, Japan is the largest importer of fish products in the world. Approximately one third of the world catch in weight is exported, and Japan imports about 15 % in weight, or one quarter in value, of all exported fish products.
